Bill Ladson, of Washington.Nationals.MLB.com, reports Washington Nationals RP Felix Rodriguez will drop his appeal of the three-game suspension he was given because he feels he is unlikely to overturn it. He will miss three of the Nationals game this coming week.

Jim Carley, of Washington.Nationals.MLB.com, reports Washington Nationals RP Felix Rodriguez will wait until after his appeal has been heard to serve his three-game suspension, if the suspension is not overturned.
